Great Wikipedia Passages - The TGIF Paradox

This is the first, and possibly last episode in my series called, Great Wikipedia Passages.

The passage is read word for word from the Wikipedia entry for Tommy Westphall [as of Aug 22, 2007].

I never thought I'd make painstakingly accurate permanent marker-drawings of the intro screens to the TV shows Full House, Family Matters, and Step by Step, but now my dream has come true!

I know what you're thinking. "I refuse to watch a video that doesn't have visiblemode's manboobs in it!!" Well, don't worry, I have you covered. More of his manboobs are available here:

...do you even know what a paradox is? It is, put simply, a contradiction that makes logical sense. One's immortality that is acheived through death is a paradox...there is no paradox in this video...

[zacksmovies]

I didn't write the Wikipedia article. I made a video about it because it is hilarious. One of the many reasons it's hilarious is the use of the word paradox, because it implies that the writers of the shows couldn't simply be contradicting themselves.

Is there some kind of fringe "Kids in the Hall" culture immigrating from Canada.... I always feel that way when I see your videos.

Damn funny though... and I really like the music score!

[zacksmovies]

thanks, I haven't seen too much kids in the hall stuff, but I always liked it.

[MBRHIndustries]

interesting. uncle jesses mullet seems completely unphased by the paradoxical shift.

[zacksmovies]

Such, is it's power.

[CailR]

This video leads me to only ONE CONCLUSION.

There are two John Stamoses

[ricarleite]

Very Meta.

In my comment I meant that often two characters are portrayed by the same actor, but the point is that here he mention his other role. So Full House is a TV series within Step by Step. Steve Urkel appearing in-character means that he also exists in that universe and when they watch Full House and see Urkel guest starring, is simply a real-life person having a cameo to them.

The only other possibility is that that John Stamos statement was a fourth-wall breaking and should be ignored...

[KombatGod]

It happens many times: Alfonso Ribiero starred as Carlton in Fresh Prince of Bel Air and as Alfonso Spears in Silver Spoons, but Gary Coleman's charachter Arnold guest starred in both series, placing them in the same universe.

Selena Gomez played Mikayla in some Hanna Montana's episodes and then starred as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly, but the crossover Wizards on Deck with Hanna Montana place them in the same universe.

@CailR A John Stamos in the plural form is correctly written "John Stami " (cacus/cacti , anus/anni etc)

[puppetboyshow]

A similar thing happened with Sienfeld and Mad About You.Kramer guest starred on mad about you, then on a later Sienfeld Episode George was watching and Episode of mad about you.

[breedlove94]

you just blew my mind

[RockyBalboa211]

Doesnt this just mean that Steve Urkel visited not the actual full house, yet a family that was insanely similar to the televised full house..

[happyhappyman3k]

please cut the first 30 seconds.

[TSDT]

So glad I stopped that ridiculousness when I was 12.

[Coastergeekperson04]

No, that doesn't solve it. There are two Steve Urkels.
